Babies at Movies

At a 9:00 movie the other night, I was sitting in front of a couple with a baby. At one point the infant started screaming and continued for five minutes. The parents just kept watching the show. I wanted to suggest that one of them take him outside -- should I have?

Your frustration is justified. You paid to see a movie, not to listen to a crying infant. Next time, complain to the manager -- it's his responsibility to deal with out-of-control children, loud patrons and ringing cell phones. In some theaters, management will even refund the tickets of families asked to leave due to cranky kids -- just to keep all customers happy. Note to parents: There are occasions when it is inconsiderate to bring an infant, and a 9pm movie is one of them.
